Seriously?  A Bitcoin advocate is questioning the legitimacy of the LP?  lp.org/candidates/elected-officials

Naw, it is basically a duopoly that is bought and paid for by lobbyists.

...because he was totally afforded the same exposure.  Can we get back to Bitcoin now?

Agreed.  It would be kinda like voting for a Republicrat or Demopublican when you identify with Libertarians.

That's a really good point.  Why sacrifice one of BTC's best properties in exchange for a promise-to-pay?

Expectations only reduce options & foster disappointment...

FLOSS Weekly 696: Tailscale Gets Hot

Firewatch stand auf unserer Liste der meisterwarteten Spiele 2016. Jetzt ist die Zeit der Abrechnung gekommen: Ist das Indie-Abentuer wirklich unsere Vorfreude wert gewesen, oder verdammen wir es wie eifersüchtige Ex-Freundinen?

Runde #46: Firewatch (Some people just want to watch the world burn)

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.

EPISODE 4 - APRIL 11, 2013

Concept of the day: Wallets Address, & Security
Wallet

A wallet is a container that stores both your receiving addresses (public) and spending (private) key
Address

An address is like the money clip in your pocket in that it gives you an easy, single place to store value that you might like to spend.  When you’re not actively spending it, you keep it in a small transparent safe - You can see everything inside of it, but  you can’t access the money kept in each money clip inside without the right key or combination.  Once you use the right combination, the safe opens and you can access the value inside to use however you like.   

The lock on the safe is “Wallet Encryption”
Wallet Encryption:

Wallet encryption uses a scheme called “AES-256” to encrypt only the private keys that are held in a wallet. The keys are encrypted with a master key which is entirely random.

Adam: What’s encryption?

Paul: Encryption is a process of encoding messages or information in such a way that third parties cannot read it, but authorized parties can.

This master key is then encrypted.

Adam: What does a key look like?

Paul: It’s not a physical key, more a random string of numbers and letters that you can access and use when you put in your correct password.

At runtime, the client loads the wallet as it normally would, however the keys are stored in encrypted form. When the passphrase is required it will be asked for from the client, otherwise it must first be entered on the ‘command line’. When wallet passphrase encryption becomes enabled, any unused keys from the keypool are flushed and new keys protected with encryption are added. For this reason, make a new backup of your wallet so that you will be able to recover the keys from the new key pool should access to your backups be necessary.  And lastly, ALWAYS use good ‘passwords’ as your passphrase!  You are only as strong as

your weakest link.
